[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
What would this Baboon be thinking? I don't know, but she posed to me beautifully. I took this picture at the Phoenix Zoo.

The Hamadryas Baboon (Papio hamadryas) is a baboon from the Old World monkey family. It is the northernmost of all the baboons; its range extends from the Red Sea in Egypt to Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia. It also lives on the Arabian peninsula (Saudi Arabia and Yemen). The Hamadryas Baboon was a sacred animal to the ancient Egyptians as the attendant of Thoth, and so, is also called the Sacred Baboon.

Hi Everton.
You have pictured and very interesting specimen. Expression of its face and glance are so wonderful and you have reflected it greatly. Fantastic impression. All components of the portrait photo skill are on a highest level too. Well done and TFS.

Great image Everton,
Sometimes it's scary when you see the expressions on the faces of these guys, it really makes you wonder if they don't possess a higher level of intelligence then we tend to give them.
Very sharp and detailed photo with wonderful expression. Very informative notes!! Well done!!
